Homeschool Conventions are one of the best and most overwhelming resources for homeschool moms. One one hand, it's a weekend packed full of resources put together to help you in all areas of your homeschool life. There are speakers, workshops, and the vendor hall. You are bound to find what you need.
On the other hand, it's a weekend packed full of resources put together to help you in all areas of your homeschool life. There are s...
Childhood vaccinations are a hot topic for parents. It seems at times there are two camps warring against each other. Is it possible to meet somewhere in the middle?
Aurie and Marci share their vaccination experiences and open the topic up for debate.
Thanks to her precious little ones, Aurie hasn't slept in years. So that is the focus of this episode. Aurie and Marci chat about why kids won't go to sleep (even though they desperately need it), sleep tips that work on some kids and not on others, and share a foul-mouthed (but on the money) look at what really goes through sleep deprived parents' minds.
And b...
We sat down to chat about Christmas and ended up talking about Christmas trees the whole time. Here are a few Christmas tree topics we covered:
7:40 - Dogs, cats, and Christmas trees do not mix well
10:08 - Is it fake or artificial?
10:33 – Christmas tree needles, glitter, and Easter grass everywhere
16:57 – Why you should never rescue kittens from a Christmas tree wearing only a towel
So the 7 children between them don't make life crazy enough, why not add a few more pets into the mix. In 10 days, Marci and Aurie go from 1 dog and a sugar glider between them to 2 dogs, 1 sugar glider, 4 chinchillas, 2 cats, and one less mouse in the world.
In this episode, we talk about pet adoptions, background checks, the natural habitat of the house cat, and how much poop 4 chinchillas can produce in one night.

What's the number one question people ask homeschool moms? "What about socialization?"
First off, if you want to start a fight with a homeschool mom, ask her that question. We usually get that question while we are out and about and the kids are either playing with friends or chatting with the docent at the zoo that they've just met about the unique markings on the zebra that identify them like our fingerprints.
That has led us t...
We didn't even want to do this podcast. I mean, bring up modesty and people think you are wearing a prairie skirt and a turtleneck and forcing your daughters to do the same. That's not us. But if that's you, that's fine.
This isn't a bashing or a preaching podcast. It's all about why we think teaching modesty is important, but how we each have our own ideas about what that looks like. Modesty is going to look different for every fa...
It seems there are two camps when it comes to kids and chores. Those who are all for kids doing chores and those who are against it. Both groups have their reasons, and we are not here to bash either.

Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant.
